[STDS-802-11-TGAI] Comment resolution needed for MDR Report



Hi Dan, George,

Could you help to provide the resolution text for the comment below in MDR?

P128L28 the little-endianness of 802.11 disagrees with ‘first bit is 1’

The discussion from Editor’s meeting is that “Dangerous as specified – should be described as an integer field of 13 octets width. The special value should be 2**((13*8)-1).”

 

The related text in D4.0 is cited below:

FILS requires an additional element: a 13 octet AEAD counter to be part of the newly created PTKSA. The STA shall set the AEAD counter to 13 octets of zero and the AP shall set the first octet to the value 128 and the remaining octets to zero (i.e. the first bit of the AEAD counter is 1 and the rest of the bits in the counter are 0). To allow for proper processing, each side shall include the AEAD counter of the other as a peer’s AEAD counter (see 11.11.2.6 (AEAD cipher mode for FILS)).

 

Best Regards,

Ping Fang
